Brest humiliates Salzburg and ranks number 1 in Europe – C1 – J2 – Salzburg-Brest (0-4)

RB Salzburg 0-4 Stade Brestois

Buts : Sima (24^e71^e), Camara (66^e), Pereira Lage (75^e)

The dream continues. Two weeks after the ecstasy against Graz, Stade Brestois achieved the hardest part: confirming. Outside what’s more, while the 13^e of Ligue 1 had lost their three previous trips. Far from the face displayed in Auxerre, the Pirates nailed the mouth of RB Salzburg, although accustomed to the altitude of the Champions League (0-4). Already a scorer on the first day, Abdallah Sima scored twice this time. With six points out of six, Brest temporarily places itself at the top of the Champions League and truly offers itself the right to dream of a place in the 24. Who would have thought it…

Piracy is never over

Quite irritated last weekend, Eric Roy decided to send Jordan Amavi, Romain Faivre and the usual captain Brendan Chardonnet to the bench. Julien Le Cardinal took the opportunity to experience his first in the Champions League, which almost turned into a nightmare: upon receiving an Austrian corner, he sent a header towards the cage and the ball ended up in the back of the net after passing between the legs of Mahdi Camara (10^e). The VAR nevertheless came to the aid of the Bretons and the goal was refused for an offside position by Lucas Gourna-Douath.

The poisonous Amar Dedić, who made Kenny Lala go crazy, maintained the pressure by concluding his rush with a shot flush with the top corner (16^e). Karim Konaté didn’t go far on his left foot either (19^e). Shaken, the Pirates achieved the perfect shot thanks to an exploit from the duo Ludovic Ajorque – Abdallah Sima: the center forward played well with his body to keep the leather and give a ball to his young teammate, full of onions. composure to contain Dedić and deceive Janis Blaswich to the ground (24^e0-1).

Pep Lijnders’ team also came close to being penalized when Romain Del Castillo, helped by Ajorque’s call, intelligently served Sima, who was off target this time (38^e). Led against the run of play, Salzburg moved forward again, but Bizot held the house to repel Oscar Gloukh’s strike (37^e) and seize the uncontrolled recovery from Bidstrup, strangely alone in the area (41^e). One more little miracle to credit to Eric Roy’s training.

Big Bizot

The Austrian waves continued to surge after returning from the locker room. Marco Bizot was scared when he saw his clearance blocked, but the last Brest rampart compensated perfectly with a double save, with his foot to deflect Gloukh’s attempt, then gloves on that of Adam Daghim, finally flagged offside (55^e). He did it again by winning his duel against Dedić (65^e). On a tightrope, Brest also relied on Le Cardinal, author of a saving tackle to block Bobby Clark’s shot (58^e). Efforts rewarded by Mahdi Camara, who extinguished the Red Bull Arena by taking advantage of a ball poorly cleared by Leandro Morgalla after a lot of work by Mama Baldé (0-2, 66^e).

Then the apotheosis with the double of the fox Abdallah Sima, attentive to the strike of Hugo Magnetti, repelled by Blaswich (0-3, 71^e). Just off the bench, Mathias Pereira Lage even took the liberty of driving home the nail at the edge of the area (0-4, 75^e). The rankings don’t lie: Stade Brestois is at this time at the top of Europe with six points and a goal difference of +5. Who knows, maybe it could last…
